Russian Business Visa

A Russian business visa is issued to people who visit Russia on official or private business. This type of visa is for people who do not know there exact itineraries, wish to stay in Russia for more than 30 days or need to enter Russia frequently within a certain time period.

A Business visa to the Russian Federation may be issued for up to two entries and for up to 90 days. It is also possible to obtain multiple-entry business visas that are valid for 6 or 12 months with unlimited entries. Unlike a tourist visa, it is possible to extend a business visa by arrangement through the organisation issuing the invitation.

Documents you will require for a Russian Business Visa are:

Original passport, valid for at least 6 months.
Application form that has been completed electronically on-line and printed out.
One passport photograph.
Letter from your employer.
Invitation from The Ministry of Interior.
Application fee.

Please note: The business visa application must be supported by an invitation from The Ministry of Interior.
